Background: Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between attachment styles and defense mechanisms with early maladaptive schemas. On the other hand, the results of these studies have shown a significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas and positive response to stress, but the structural relationship between this Variables have not been studied in any research.
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in relation to attachment styles and defense mechanisms with a positive response to stress married women flooded in Aq Qala city.
Methods: The present study was descriptive and of correlation and structural equations. The statistical population included women married women flooded in Aqqala city in 2019 who had health records in urban health centers and rural health houses. From this statistical population, 379 people were selected by cluster sampling. Tedeschi and Calhoun's posttraumatic growth inventory (1996), Andrews et al.'s defense styles questionnaire (1999), Hazan and Shawr adult attachment questionnaire (1987), and Young schema questionnaire short form (1994) were used to collect the required data. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and path analysis.
Results: The results showed that avoidance and anxiety attachment have a significant direct effect on the positive response to stress (p< 0/01) and security and anxiety attachment through mediated early maladaptive schemas have a significant indirect effect on the positive response to stress
(p< 0/05). The results also showed that the underdeveloped defense mechanism has a direct and indirect effect on the positive response to stress (p< 0/05). No significant effect was observed for developed and neuroprotective defense mechanisms.
Conclusion: Based on the results, it seems that early maladaptive schemas mediate the effects of variables affected by childhood development such as attachment and defense mechanisms to post-traumatic development, so it can be used in post-developmental interventions. Accident to be considered.
